For a selection of 35 pulsars with large spin-up glitches ($\Delta{\nu}/\nu\geq10^{-6}$), which are monitored by the Jodrell Bank Observatory, we analyse 157 glitches and their recoveries. All parameters are measured consistently and we…

Magnetars are strongly magnetized pulsars and they occasionally show violent radiative outbursts. They also often exhibit glitches which are sudden changes in the spin frequency. It was found that some glitches were associated with…

We present the results from timing observations with the GMRT of the young pulsar J1833-1034, in the galactic supernova remnant G21.5-0.9. We detect the presence of 4 glitches in this pulsar over a period of 5.5 years, making it one of a…

The first pulse-to-pulse observations of a neutron star glitch in the Vela pulsar identified a null pulse hinting at the sudden disruption of the neutron star's magnetosphere. The only physical model connecting the glitch and the null pulse…

Spinning superfluid neutrons in the core of a neutron star interact strongly with co-existing superconducting protons. One consequence is that the outward(inward) motion of core superfluid neutron vortices during spin-down(up) of a neutron…

Pulsar-like compact stars provide us a unique laboratory to explore properties of dense matter at supra-nuclear densities. One of the models for pulsar-like stars is that they are totally composed of "strangeons", and in this paper we…

Pulsars are rotating neutron stars, sweeping the emission regions from the magnetic poles across our line of sight. Isolated neutron stars lose angular momentum through dipole radiation and (possibly) particle winds, hence they slow down…

The study of pulsar glitches provides a unique window into the internal structure and dynamic processes of neutron stars. PSR J0007+7303, a very bright gamma-ray pulsar, is the first pulsar discovered by the Fermi-LAT telescope. In this…

This article starts by providing an introductory overview of the theoretical mechanics of rotating neutron stars as developped to account for the frequency variations, and particularly the discontinuous glitches, observed in pulsars. The…

About 76 glitches in 25 pulsars have been reported to date. Most glitches are `giant', with fractional increases of frequency dnu_0/nu_0 ~ 10^{-6}. 25 glitches were analysed and presented by Shemar & Lyne (1996) who detected them mainly at…

Continuous gravitational-wave signals from isolated non-axisymmetric rotating neutron stars may undergo episodic spin-up events known as glitches. If unmodelled by a search, these can result in missed or misidentified detections. We outline…

Pulsars are known for their exceptionally stable rotation. However, this stability can be disrupted by glitches, sudden increases in rotation frequency whose cause is poorly understood. In this study, we present some preliminary results…

Upgrades beyond the current second generation of ground-based gravitational wave detectors will allow them to observe tens of thousands neutron star and black hole binaries. Given the typical minute-to-hour duration of neutron star signals…
